A big thank you to Sport England and the Orienteering Foundation for providing funding to make these events possible and for Maprun developers for providing such an amazing free App. Here are some of our highlights:

Our series kicked off in hilly Heanor. Many thanks for Alison for setting such a tricky course. Hope you had fun!

Flatter in Chaddesden with the challenge of navigating a wet park and avoiding ‘Aldi Lake’. Bonus points to the two competitors who found the control on the slide and took a photo to prove it!

Control 31 certainly caused a stir tonight in Whitemoor with many choosing to miss it out completely rather than take on penalty points. Great planning Emma.

Our busiest night of the series was in Spondon. Over 70 runners took on the challenge (trying to get a photo of everyone at once was more difficult than herding cats) and were not disappointed with Jake’s course. Fantastic effort everyone!

Next to Allestree. Hope you didn’t get caught out in the next housing estate or try to take shortcuts that didn’t exist! Great to have so many join us for a drink following the event in Bar189.

 

Join us next Thursday 5th March in Ilkeston.

Missed any of the events this or last calendar year? The benefit of these smartphone-based events is that all courses will remain open 24/7 and can be used as part of your own training schedule. You can rerun courses that you have enjoyed. Do drop us a line if you complete one of our courses!
